Luxury Pet Fashion – An Emerging Market
In the early oughts (00’s) Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie made pet fashion a big deal when their pets became a regular on the hit reality show, The Simple Life. Fashionable carry bags/purses/backpacks - you name it – became an accessory paired with a miniature breed of some sort. Not only were pets being tagged along everywhere, but the pups were dressed for success too. From cold-weather jackets and booties to stylish leash and collar sets, pet owners can find a wide variety of merch for their pets.
Fashion designers like Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Armani have all created haute couture lines for pets, and it seems dogs are the preferred pet to play dress-up with. Pet clothing is now more popular than ever and you can thank the pandemic for that. As much as people want to spend money on their homes, they also feel more inclined to invest in some stylin’ outfits for their pets. With more people working from home, pet owners have also spent more time with their pets, rekindling and bonding with man’s best friend.
Some people are going so far as to give their pets their own Instagram accounts. Some being really popular. Check out Boobie Billie, It’s Juniper the Fox, Jiff the Pomeranian or Guinness World record-holding Nala the cat. Other fashion famous pets include the late Karl Lagerfeld’s Choupette, and Jason Wu’s Jinxy and Peaches.
Fashion Week
High fashion is a big deal in pet fashion. It is an emerging market and owners are willing to invest thousands in their pet’s wardrobe. Dressing your pet is essentially an extension of your personality. There is even a pet Fashion Week annually in New York City to celebrate the clothing made for animals.
Cecilia Rodriguez writes “Woolen coats, hooded jackets, striped t-shirts, cashmere polos all in exclusive designs and made-to-order for each pooch according to size and breed, and to match the owner’s elegance and style are among the offers of the new Italian sartorial experience for human and dogs by Temellini Dog A Porter”. This fashion house works from dog-shaped mannequins to create various sizes for different breeds. Clothing for your pet can start in the 100s of Rands with a Versace raincoat for your furry friend coming in at around R5850.
Keep Em’ Warm
Designer clothing aside, clothing your pet is a good idea if it gets cold. Whippets, for example, hate the cold and will freeze if their already fat-free bodies are not kept warm with a hoodie or jacket in the cooler months. Fashion Week Online shares “This is a practical side of using pet wear. In case you are often going for a walk with your pet when it is cold and windy outside, it is necessary to wear a coat on your pet. If you are searching for a new costume for your four-legged friend, pay attention to its size and style. Moreover, some little pets might also need to wear footwear to avoid undercooling and snuffling”.
Paw Benefits
Other than keeping your pet warm by helping to regulate their body temperature, there are other benefits too. Protecting your pet’s fur and skin may be necessary, especially in light-skinned pets who can get sun burnt easily. A lightweight shirt in summer can also protect your animal from insect bites and other irritants found in the garden or out on a hike.
PetMD warns that owners must always ensure a good fit. Clothing that is too big or too small can cause injury and even death. They conclude “Is there anything pets love more than being the centre of attention? No? We didn’t think so. Dress your pet up and he’s sure to receive tons of attention from anyone he comes across”.

Best Milk Tart Recipe by All That’s Jas
A milktart just always hits home. If you are celebrating Heritage Day, you’re sure to find a variety of milktarts or milktart inspired dishes this year.
Ingredients
For the crust
••1 package tennis or digestive biscuits
••1 stick melted butter
••1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the filling
••⅓ cup all-purpose flour
••⅓ cup cornstarch
••A pinch of salt
••4 ½ cups full-fat milk divided
••1 cup sugar
••3 eggs
••1 teaspoon vanilla extract
••1 tablespoon butter
••Ground cinnamon for dusting
Method
For the crust:
1.1.In a food processor blend the tennis or digestive biscuits with cinnamon and melted butter until combined and crumbled.
2.2.Transfer to an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and spread over the bottom and up the sides, firmly pressing down. Place the pan in the fridge for the crust to harden while you make the filling.
For the filling:
1.1.With an electric mixer or a food processor, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, ½ cup milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
2.2.In a large saucepan, add 4 cups of milk and butter and bring to a boil over medium heat. Be careful not to burn the milk.
3.3.Lower the heat to low and slowly, in a thin stream, add the flour mixture to the hot milk, whisking constantly. Keep whisking until thickened and completely cooked, about 15 minutes, or when the filling pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.
4.4.Pour in the prepared tart pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and let cool. When cool, refrigerate until firm enough to slice, at least 1 hour before serving.
Best Bobotie Recipe by Sarah Beunfeld
A South African classic that never goes to waste. Boboti is also a national dish celebrated by South Africans all over the world. This spicy, creamy goodness can be made with a vegetarian alternative like soy mince.
Ingredients
••2 slices white bread
••2 onions, chopped
••25g butter
••2 garlic cloves, crushed
••1kg packet lean minced beef
••2 tbsp Madras curry paste
••1 tsp dried mixed herbs
••3 cloves
••5 allspice berries
••2 tbsp peach or mango chutney
••3 tbsp sultanas
••6 bay leaves
For the topping
••300ml full-cream milk
••2 large eggs
Method
1.1.Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour cold water over the bread and set aside to soak.
2.2.Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter, stirring regularly for 10 mins until they are soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and beef and stir well, crushing the mince into fine grains until it changes colour. Stir in the curry paste, herbs, spices, chutney, sultanas and 2 of the bay leaves with 1 tsp salt and plenty of ground black pepper.
3.3.Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Squeeze the water from the bread, then beat into the meat mixture until well blended. Tip into an oval ovenproof dish (23 x 33cm and about 5-6cm deep). Press the mixture down well and smooth the top. You can make this and chill 1 day ahead.
4.4.For the topping, beat the milk and eggs with seasoning, then pour over the meat. Top with the remaining bay leaves and bake for 35-40 mins until the topping is set and starting to turn golden.
